It starts as a tremor beneath skin — a whisper of want gathering speed.
Breath stumbles, time stutters, and the body forgets its boundaries.
Then — a rupture, a flash, a falling through.
Not into darkness, but into light so blinding it feels like truth.
After, the silence isn’t empty. It’s full of everything you couldn’t say until now.

The world slows to the pulse of a drum you didn’t know was beating within you. It’s the exquisite ache of being utterly present, right here, right now. Every barrier dissolving until your own skin feels like a sheer membrane, sensitive to the temperature of the air, the distant memory of touch. You are a vessel for that bright, overwhelming truth, and in the quiet afterglow, you realize the unspeakable has become the foundation of your new silence.
@DavefromTor426 Thank you for your comment. It’s always interesting to see how someone else responds to the imagery.

@PonyGirl1965 Right? That feeling… when everything erupts and settles into something true. Glad it hit home 🙂
Short and sweet.
